: I am trying to put together a turbo set-up for
: my slant 225. Here is the options I have. A
: turbo from a 2.3 T couger(84) or a
: Mitsubishi Eclipse 2.0 turbo. Which one
: would be best to use for a good street
: set-up? I plan on about 8 pounds of boost
: with a intercooler to avoid melting
: anything. OR, should I just keep searching
: for a t4 off a grand national? These above
: mentioned turbos I already have so that
: makes them more apealing. Please advise! I
: have tried getting a response from some of
: the discussion groups with no replies.
: Andrew where are ya? I need help!

: Hello
: What numbers are on the turbo off the
: thunderbird? This turbo should be the better
: of the 2. Better yet would be a turbo from
: the 87 to 89 thunderbird but for street use
: and if you are not tring to break into the
: 10s, the turbo from the 84 will be fine and
: would most likly get you into the 13s with
: the right engine mods. The 84 turbos are a
: little smaller then the 87-89 turbo. As for
: the Eclipse turbos they run out of steam to
: fast. I still would like to see the numbers
: from the turbo.

: The numbers to look for are cast right into the
: "snail" housings and indicate the
: ratio between the turbin and compressor.
: Andy, what ratio are you currently using?

: .63 on the intake side and I think it is .60 or
: .62 on the exhaust side(one or the other)

: I will look this weekend when I get home to
: find the numbers. But it is your general
: opinion that this turbo would be ok? As far
: as hooking it up, I was looking at the Dutra
: duals web page, and his exhaust that went
: into a flowmaster y pipe gave me a idea.
: Build somthing similar, but coming forward
: and hanging the turbo where the battery box
: was. I just dont know what type of tubing I
: could hook to the duals and support the
: weight of the turbo. You think stainless
: exhaust tube would cut it hanging on exhaust
: flanges? I was also wondering if I needed to
: support its weight any other way. Thanks,
